- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Have A Plan The first truth related to getting results from your marketing efforts is that you must have a written plan. I dont care if your plan is jotted down on a napkin. As long as you have it in writing, decided on tangible goals and have identified, and prioritized, the steps needed to achieve those goals, you have a plan. I encounter too many good people who do not plan their marketing. Even worse, they have the makings of a plan but they dont trust it. They give up and turn their backs on it. The biggest failure among small and large companies is a failure to have a plan. And the next biggest mistake is having a plan but ignoring it. A plan is the essential road map to achieving your marketing goals. Without one, you have no focus, no direction. If you dont have focus and direction how do you train your people? As the saying goes..."If you dont know where you are going you're certain to get there." Get where you want to be. Get a plan. Besides, tracking the results from your plan gives you important measurements. This is good. What worked? What didn't work? Where is there room for improvement? When you second-guess your plan, and change course, you deprive yourself of relevant intelligence. You are doomed to making the wrong choices again. Make good choices. Get a plan.
